Even with the number being set at 1.5 fewer games than the Lions actually won last year, the betting public seems to be hard on the UNDER.

With the money line currently set at -160, a bettor would have to put down $160 on the Lions finishing with fewer than 7.5 wins to win $100. Meanwhile, a winning $100 OVER wager would net a bettor about $140.

We know general manager Bob Quinn has set the bar higher than nine wins, or else former head coach Jim Caldwell would still be the current head coach. But setting a high bar and actually clearing it are two different things.

Remember: Betting lines are great forecasting toolsand fun for entertainment purposes, but sports betting is illegal in most U.S. states. Ty Schalter is also a member of Team OddsShark, which means they help him compete in the Westgate SuperContest every year.
